To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what assessment she has made of the implications of the resignation of John Jasper as chairman of Capital Managed Services Ltd. the liquidation of Midsummer Computer Exchange and his appointment as a director of Lusis Business Solutions on the transfer of the Midsummer contract to Lusis for the supply of software to UK public sector museums.
